No. 33 Park Row is a singular building: the first and only residential project in New York City designed by Sir Richard Rogers, the late Pritzker Prize–winning architect, with his firm Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners. That alone makes it a landmark of intent on the downtown skyline — a 23-story, 30-residence condominium whose architecture is unmistakably its own.
The design is the building's defining feature. Rogers brought his signature high-tech vocabulary — an expressed structural steel frame and a composed array of copper-toned screen fins that animate the facade with depth, shadow, and texture — to a slender tower directly across from City Hall Park. The result is a building that looks like nothing else in Lower Manhattan, paired with one of the rarest amenities in the city: forever-open, permanently protected views over the park.
For buyers, the case is twofold — a piece of architectural history by a generational designer, and a boutique 30-unit condominium with the ownership flexibility, light, and protected outlook that almost no prewar building downtown can match.
Architecture and unit composition
The building's exterior carries Rogers' lifelong language of legible structure: steel framing left visible as composition rather than hidden, and copper-finished screen fins arranged to give the facade a richness that shifts with the light and the angle of view. It is engineering made expressive — the same instinct that defined Rogers' civic and cultural work, brought to a residential tower for the first time in New York.
Inside, the 30 limited-edition residences range from one to five bedrooms, plus penthouses, across 23 stories. The boutique count means generous floor plates and, on the park side, the unobstructed City Hall Park outlook that the building's siting permanently preserves. New construction here delivers contemporary ceiling heights, modern systems, and the floor-to-ceiling glazing the Rogers frame is built to carry. Pricing at launch began around $1.8 million for the entry homes and climbed through the larger residences and penthouses.
Building operations
No. 33 Park Row runs as a full-service boutique condominium with a 24-hour attended lobby and a curated amenity program — fitness, lounge, and shared spaces scaled to a building of 30 households. The protected park frontage is, in effect, the building's signature amenity: an open green outlook in a part of the city where new light and views are nearly impossible to assemble.
As a condominium, ownership is flexible. Purchases clear through a condominium right-of-first-refusal rather than a co-op board interview, financing is not capped the way it is at co-ops, and pied-à-terre, investor, and LLC purchases are customary at a building of this caliber. Common charges, transfer provisions, and house rules follow the offering plan, which we help buyers read.

Facade safety — Local Law 11
The facade passed its last inspection with no required repairs — nothing to budget for here, and no facade assessment on the horizon for roughly five years.

The live sales record is auto-generated on this site's /sales view from the building's BBL. As a 30-unit architect-statement condominium, turnover is thin by design — a small number of resales in a typical year, with availability often limited to a single-digit count. Pricing sits in the top tier of downtown new construction, with value carried by the Rogers authorship, the protected park views, and floor and exposure. Treat any specific figure as something to confirm against the current recorded record.
What to know if you’re buying
This is trophy downtown inventory with a true architectural provenance. Financing is flexible — no co-op-style cap — and the process is condominium-standard, clearing through a right-of-first-refusal rather than a board package and interview. Pied-à-terre, trust, and LLC purchases are customary. The most important buying decision is exposure: the park-facing residences carry the protected-view premium that defines the building, so confirm which line a home sits on. Read the offering plan for common charges and the tax picture, and recognize that scarcity — only 30 homes, by a once-in-a-generation architect — is itself part of the value.
What to know if you’re selling
The architecture is the headline. Richard Rogers' only New York residence is a durable, irreplaceable marketing asset — there will never be another. The protected park views compound it — permanently open green frontage downtown is effectively impossible to replicate. Benchmark to the top tier of downtown new construction and architect-branded condominiums, not to the neighborhood's prewar conversions. The condominium structure speeds the close through a right-of-first-refusal, and scarcity drives the resale — with only 30 homes, well-positioned inventory trades on a thin, premium market.
